The Walls of a Prison

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>There&#x27;s a lot of strange men in cell block ten<br/>But the strangest of em&#x27; all<br/>Was a friend of mine who spent his time<br/>Staring at the wall[x2]<br/>In his hand was a note that his gal had wrote<br/>Proving crime don&#x27;t pay<br/>Was the very same gal he robbed and stole for<br/>Wanting their wedding day[x2]<br/>As he looked at the wall<br/>So strong and tall<br/>I heard him softly curse<br/>Nobody at all ever climed that wall<br/>But I&#x27;m going to be the first<br/>I&#x27;m going to be the first<br/>Then the warden walked by and said son don&#x27;t try<br/>I&#x27;d hate to see you fall<br/>Because there is no doubt they&#x27;ll carry you out<br/>If you ever touch that wall[x2]<br/>Well a years gone by since he made his try<br/>But I can still recall<br/>How hard he tried and the way he died<br/>But he never made that wall<br/>He never made that wall<br/>[Outro]<br/>Well there&#x27;s never been a man who shook this camp<br/>But I knew a man who tried<br/>The newspapers called it a jailbreak plan<br/>But I know it was suicide<br/>I know it was suicide
